New York state governor David Patterson wants to place an obesity tax on non-diet soft drinks and fruit drinks (only those less than 70% real fruit juice). The problem really is one of money for New York state and not obesity, which in lies the issue. Patterson is simply looking to make up the state’s budget short fall. As always, this type of tax will hurt the poor the most. Some will argue that the monetary pain will be enough to convince many state residents, mainly the poor ones, not to purchase these ‘empty calories.’ However, it provides no guarantee that these calories will not be replaced with other cheap empty calorie options. Let’s tackle obesity rates, but let’s do it in the right way.

A lot of people who are concerned with obesity rates have emailed me and asked me to do a review of Fat Loss 4 Idiots. I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical of this program. First, I hate to think of us as idiots, but in all honesty, given the obesity rates, we kind of are. Anyway, the program is true to its name when it says that it is going to put you through a diet that you’ve never seen before. And without giving too much away, it plain works. The friend who I commandeered into doing it met her target weight in around 1 month. Granted, she did not have a ton to lose, but we both felt as if the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program made it so easy. If you’re looking to buy Fat Loss for Idiots, I’d give it a shot!

Now, while we would all love to blame the fast food industries for the reason why we are such a huge society, but the fact of the matter is we have full control over what we put into our mouths, which means we do not have to eat those burgers and fries.
There are over 50 million people that are overweight and about 40 million that are obese. Think about that amount for a minute, and think about all of those people. These obese people are not just adults, there are children that are obese as well and the obesity rate among children is rising quite quickly.
Think about what can happen if you do not start taking the steps to becoming healthy and you become one of the millions of people that are overweight, do you really want to add to the millions, or do you want to decrease that amount of people, by taking the right steps towards a healthier lifestyle? Being obese can lead to severe heart attacks, diabetes, and eventually death. So before any of this happens to you, take a step back and see what you can do, obesity rates are rising the sooner we can acknowledge this fact, the better.

Well, the year of 2008 is coming to a close, and most of us like to talk about the amount of money that we have made or the things that we have aquired over the last year. But we are not going to talk about money, or cars, nothing like that, we are going to talk about the obesity rates in 2008.
Over the last year, the obesity rates within the United States has risen nearly 3%! Now, think about how many people actually live in the United States, and think about the amount of people that are now considered obese.
If you think about it this way, as the years go by, there are going to be more and more obese people. If we do not start taking care of ourselves we are going to run into some serious problems! As the year comes to a close, Mississippi has been name the fattest state in the U.S. and this is the the third straight year in a row that Mississippi has been awarded the title.
Just think about it, instead of obesity rates falling year after year, obesity rates are actually increasing and the numbers and percentages are staggering. If we do not start taking care of ourselves, and start living healthier lives, the obesity rate after each year is going to be more than just 3%, think about the rate increasing to 9 or 10 percent! Stop the trend while you can, and spread the word, get everyone involved in the fight to be obesity.

Obesity within America is becoming a large problem and numbers are rising as the years go by. The causes of obesity are simple and everyone that lives in America should know them by now. But, if everyone knows the causes and knows what to do in order to stay fit and healthy, why are we such an obese country?
Americans love their fast food, and love their refined sugars, the foods that we all crave, but the foods that all make us fat, and the foods that cause us to be named one of the most obese countries in the world. We are a growing nation, not just in population, but by the notches in our belts.
When we intake more calories than we should, we are going to gain significant amounts of weights. When we do not exercise or eat a healthy diet, we are going to become obese. Children all across America are also becoming obese, and this is because they are taught bad eating habits. If you have children, then take the time to show them how to eat right and be active.
If you want to learn about your metabolism and you want to learn about the proper calorie intake, then just talk to your doctor and see what kinds of information they have to offer you. Doctors, nutritionists and personal trainers are all here across America in order to teach us how to be fit and teach us how to be healthy.
